You Shouldn't Have1 of 12
Uh-oh. Does Valentine's Day leave you fuming instead of swooning? While the Hallmark holiday is supposed to be all about romance, it's safe to say that most of us have had a bad experience or two over the years. To commemorate the fact that the "day of love" isn't always so lovable, here are some of the worst gifts people have received for V-Day. Let the commiseration begin!
Taped Up2 of 12
In high school I got a mix tape from a guy I was dating off and on who had actually gotten the mix tape from another girl. He literally tried to scrape of the handwritten label and replace it with one he wrote. —Ashley, 33

Mangia, Mangia3 of 12
One year, my boyfriend informed me that because he was "in a giving mood," he had made reservations for us at Buca Di Beppo. Unless he was planning on hiding a tennis bracelet in that 20-pound bowl of pasta, how is taking a girl out to a family-oriented chain restaurant "giving"? —Anonymous
He's Always Watching4 of 12
My first year in college, the boy I was dating gave me one of the most memorable gifts I've ever received: a talking framed picture of him. (Not him and me — just him.) When I pressed a button on the frame it said something like "when you miss me, just listen to my voice and think of me." We broke up soon after. —Heather, 29
Vroom, Vroom5 of 12
I got a Harley Davidson calendar from a boyfriend in college after I randomly mentioned I thought motorcycles were cool. —Adriana, 27
Make a Splash6 of 12
My boyfriend told me he spent a really long time picking out a gift for me. I was excited when I tore off the wrapping and saw that it was jewelry. I opened up the box and it was a necklace with a rhinestone-eyed dolphin charm. Um, thanks? — Anonymous
Reading the Signs7 of 12
I got a book about running along with an "Edward Cullen" Twilight bookmark last year from a guy I was dating. —Stacy, 26
Old Spice8 of 12
I once got a bottle of Petite Nate Bath Splash from a boyfriend ... the year was 2003, NOT 1983. —Saryn, 32
Hot Stuff9 of 12
A toaster. Although I do still use the toaster, whereas the guy that bought it is seven years gone. – Glo Facebook fan Meghan D.
Ouch, That Hurts10 of 12
A cactus. I left it on the front porch. That's how much I liked it. — Glo Facebook fan Natalia M
Spice Girl11 of 12
One year I got a spice rack for Valentine's Day. (And several unsigned cards — my boyfriend at the time said he "couldn't choose.") Sure, I liked to cook, but that's no excuse. — Anonymous
Bad Timing12 of 12
When I was 15, my girlfriend at the time gave me an alarm clock for Valentine's Day . Needless to say, I broke up with her two days after that. —Diego, 27

Pick a theme, then do a little planning.
Milestone Birthdays are cause for special parties -- they only happen once in each person's life, whether it is their 30th or 90th birthday. A few easy ideas can turn this special birthday into a memorable celebration for both the honoree and the guests!
A birthday at 30, 40, 50, and beyond is essential to commemorate. The birthday person may not feel as young as he/she used to and will welcome the good cheer. Consider incorporating memorabilia from childhood through adulthood is throughout the entire party. And surprise parties are always an option – provided the birthday person likes surprises!
Theme Ideas Fifties eraThis theme is great for people that were teenagers in the 1950's… or wished they had been - it is not only simple, but easy to arrange, decorate and organize. Send invitations out shaped in the old black 45 record styles, with "Side One" listing the information and "Side 2" listing the directions to the party. Decorate with jukebox style decorations, 45 records, photos of poodle skirts, hula hoops, hot rods. Games can include Bazooka Bubble Blowing Contest, Hula Hoop and Limbo contests, dancing to the Twist and doing the Stroll.
Countdown Plan a "50 days until 50" party (or "30 Days Until 30", etc.). Set up a calendar and mark certain days with funny quotes about aging, or words of wisdom. Mail the invitations/announcements out 50 days ahead of time and use the calendar as the invitation (easy to make on computers). Be sure to follow up with a "25 days left" announcement so the guests won't forget. The day of the party, hang the 50 days calendar up for everyone to see. Decorate with a variety of colored balloons and streamers or decorate according to the birthday person's hobbies.
Medieval timesMake invitations using a castle, a moat, knight in armor, ladies in waiting, etc. Ask the guests to come in costume. Ask the male guest of honor to dress as the Knight in Shining Armor or the female guest of honor to dress as a Lady In Waiting for the party. Decorate the area with paper swords, shields, castle backgrounds, gold, and black tableware, streamers and balloons. Serve finger foods since silverware wasn't invented until the 17th Century. Set the table with plastic goblets for serving drinks and serve red wine (or cranberry juice) for the toast. Lace doilies, elaborate settings, and plenty of candles will give the room a dramatic effect.
GiftsAsk the birthday person whether or not they want gifts and if not, note it on the invitation. If yes, gift ideas include:• Ask everyone bring at least one small gag gift.• Ask guests to bring gifts in the milestone birthday quantities such as 30 coins, 50 pens, etc. • Ask everyone to chip in a certain amount for one big present.• Donate money to the birthday person's favorite charity.
Buffet style is the easiest way to serve food at a party. Serve large trays of food that can be prepared ahead of time for at home parties (Italian dishes, prepared meats, salads, etc). Snacks are important to provide for guests to munch on until dinner is served. And of course, a cake is a must and can be made a day ahead of time to cut down on last-minute preparations.
Capture the special momentsHave a camera ready for those "spur of the moment" shots that will not only create lasting memories but can later be used at upcoming milestone birthday parties in scrapbooks, photo albums, or even invitations. Consider handing out disposable cameras as party favors and let the guests do their own picture taking.
Ask a couple of people to help take photos as this is an event to remember!

Click HERE for latest points standings and Round 4 results.?
This week would start the second half of the league series and we start to see some development in the overall points. As mentioned last week, Jace would be back in points but would return this week. He was looking to drop week 3 and be back in the battle for the overall points. In the end, it was a close battle for the top five spots.
The C main would have seven drivers leaving more room on the track as well as better racing. John M. would start and look to pass quickly on Michael D. on the first lap but would be blocked. After two more laps he would be able to go to the lead entering the split while Michael took the outside. Derek B. would also make the move on the inside and quickly close the gap on Derek. This would turn into a good three-way battle very quickly. In the heat of the battle Toni would try to make the move on Derek bumping him and taking him out. He would earn a black flag loosing one position while depowered. This would put Derek to the back of the field and a lot of ground to make up in a short amount of time. He would make some great passes at the finish line moving through the pack, having speed that would make it look like drivers just moved out of his way. Back to back lap passes would be made at the finish line and with only one lap remaining he would catch the leader John M. with the pressure on he would again make the pass across the finish line and win by just Two hundredths of a second making four passes at the finish line on the last four laps. The second race wouldn't see quite as much action. John M. would turn the fastest time by two tenths. Cody S would have a pretty good race as he would make the pass on John and hang with the quick driving of Derek until the last couple laps when Derek would gap him just a little to make it an easy finish of a one-one for him.
B main would start off clean and have Brian C. starting on the poll. Randy G. Last weeks winner of the A main would look to make the pass going into the second one eighty with a slight bump that was not enough to earn him a black-flag. Brian would hang right there for the next few laps and randy would take the outside of the split with seven laps to go allowing Brian to close the gap. Next lap around Randy would again take the outside letting Brian make an easy pass on the inside. Chase T. Jon R. and Sean P would have a good three-way battle for third going at one point going three wide across the finish line. Chase would be on the inside and be able to get around to take a comfortable third place. With the race on the last lap Randy would again have closed the gap on Brain but take the outside on the split loosing time and having no chance at a last min pass for the lead. The second main would have Brian slowly start to pull away as the race went on. James P. would pass John R. at the finish line with a better drive but would get passed back one lap later going into the second one eighty. John would turn the fastest lap time with a 20.2 a full two tenths faster then the rest of the field. Chase would also be tuning fast laps and catch up to Randy. With a failed attempt at a pass going into the second one eighty with three laps to go would lose ground that he made up and have no time to make it back up. Ending with Brian in first Randy in second and Chase in third.
The A main would see the randomizer set the fastest qualifier Jace H. on the pole and our top two in points Jeremy W. and Michael M. seventh and eighth. This would mix things up a bit and allow anything to happen. There would be a clean start and drive single file for about 4 laps. Then Jeremy and Michael would start trying to make their move. Jeremy would have the drive around the finish to pass Jacob U. and allow Michael to follow through on the inside. They would catch up to Matt A. and Jeremy would again show a wheel at the finish but this time not able to make the pass. At about the halfway point the field would start to spread except Jace H. and Philip R. in the front. There would be cart distance between them for the next two laps before Philip would catch Jace. Jace would start to Drive slightly defensive and allow Scott R to close the gap. Only five laps remaining it would be a battle for the top three. Scott would get around Philip quickly and set his eye on Jace. Scott would be looking for any way around. Coming around for the last lap Jace would drive extremely defensive making sure not to make any mistake. Jace would leave a slight opening coming into the last corner and Scott would make a push pulling up to the side of Jace but not be able to get the pass before crossing the finish. Jace would take the win with Scott right behind in second and Philip in third. Going into the second main would see a clean start. Michael M. who started in last the first main would be in fifth hoping to catch two very strong front-runners although they would prove to be strong and with in the first few laps would start to sneak away. Philip would feel the pressure and Matt A. to get to the inside going into the second one-eighty then going outside across the finish allowing Michael and Jeremy to make the pass on the inside. Michael would see the front-runners pulling away and see the urgency to make the pass on Matt and close the gap before it was to late. Michael tried to make a tough pass going into the first one-eighty Matt would shut the door and trying to avoid taking him out Michael slid and wedges himself into the barriers dropping back into last. We would see everyone pretty spread out after this with Michael making a last lap pass for a few needed points for the overall standings. Jace would go one-one after pulling away from Scott who had a big lead on third place Jeremy who started in Eighth for the second main.
There would be a clean sweep in all classes seeing Jace, Brian, and Derek all going one-one in there respected main events. This would make it the first time anyone has swept the A main. After missing last week Jace will drop that round in the overall points needing the sweep to make up those points. If the consistent driving keeps up it could lead him to a three-peat in leagues. Make sure to come to leagues Wednesday nights and see if you have what it takes to claim a win![Gallery not found]

System Local Audit Daemon can run standalone or managed by systems like IBM-Tivoli, HP-OpenView, or Nessus to perform local security checks. It runs on the target hosts and enables them to call security tools like John the Ripper, Tiger, Tripwire, or a virus scanner via a unified XML interface. It is part of the BOSS Project.
GroundWork Monitor Community Edition can give you insight into your computing infrastructure, allowing you to see the current and historical states of all your computers: servers, desktops, and laptops, all of your network devices, all of your services (like TCP/IP and Web services), and all of your applications (like mail servers and database apps). You can choose to be alerted when something goes awry via pager, SMS, email, or phone, and even set up automatic restarts or fall-overs.
BigDaddy is a program for monitoring servers. It is similar to Nagios, with the added benefit of also monitoring and controlling the crontab (or any scheduled application) across an entire fleet of servers. The application comes in the form of a daemon for monitoring and reporting as well as an easy-to-use Web-based GUI for controlling monitoring, viewing timelines of incidents, filing incidents and graphing statistics. The application is extensible with any sort of monitoring module and notification is based on a five step escalation process.
Nagios is a host, service, and network monitoring system that will watch your network and alert you to problems before your clients or end-users do. The system runs checks on hosts and services that you specify using plugins that return status information to Nagios. When problems are encountered, the system will send notifications to system administrators so that they can take action on the problem. The JumpBox for Nagios gives you a head start to using the system. It eliminates the complexity involved in getting the application installed, and allows you to focus on the configuration for your specific environment. Since Nagios is based on plugins, depending on what you want to do this will vary in complexity.

Rural Medicine Educational Pathway
a part of Des Moines University's Rural Iowa Provider Education program
RMEP Programs
- Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine
- Doctor of Podiatric Medicine
- Doctor of Physical Therapy
- Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies
Des Moines University is proactively addressing critical shortages of health care providers and practitioners in Iowa's rural communities through the creation of the Rural Medicine Educational Pathway (RMEP).
The RMEP program provides specialized education, training and tools to better prepare students for service in rural, underserved areas of Iowa. This program is focused toward Des Moines University's students and the primary care physician shortage, but has been expanded to provide opportunities for additional disciplines and academic institutions.
If you are inclined to practice medicine in rural Iowa after residency, this program is for you.
Rural Medicine Educational Pathway
Rural Iowa has a critical shortage of physicians in primary care and other specialties. You can be part of the solution, and we can help you get there.
While many studies rank Iowa near the top when comparing the quality of healthcare, Iowa's rural communities need new physicians to treat the acute and chronic medical conditions of the rural population. Even though the practice of medicine in rural America is very rewarding, today's medical student graduates are moving away from primary care specialties, and even more so from medical practice in rural communities. Although DMU continues to educate medical students interested in rural primary care medicine, obstacles such as the medical education debt load, professional isolation and lifestyle often discourage students from pursuing a career in rural medicine. Des Moines University is addressing these issues through expanded relationships with rural physicians, hospitals and clinics to demonstrate the rewarding experience of rural medicine.
Scholarship and service
Tuition debt load is one of the barriers for students choosing a rural medical practice, so DMU has made an on-going commitment to annually provide the equivalent of one (1) full tuition scholarship to DPM students enrolled in the Rural Medicine Educational Pathway.
To be eligible for the scholarship, you will commit:
- To the completion of all Rural Medicine Educational Pathway curriculum requirements
- To maintain part of a podiatric medical practice in an Iowa community with a population of 20,000 or less which has been approved by the CPMS Dean, and to provide podiatric medical care services for a period of up to four years, or one year for each year of full-tuition scholarship equivalents received. Emphasis will be placed on locations within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Primary Care Health Profession Shortage Areas, Medically Underserved Areas and the Governor's Medical Underserved Populations Areas.
Here's how the program works:
As a Des Moines University podiatric medical student, the Rural Medicine Educational Pathway offers you an innovative educational curriculum to develop and support your interest in rural medicine. In addition to the standard DMU podiatric medical school curriculum, the Rural Medicine Educational Pathway curriculum includes five 8-hour sessions held on Saturdays during years 1 & 2 of medical school. Sessions include both didactic and hands-on opportunities working alongside other health care students in an interprofessional enviornment. Examples of topics covered during these sessions include:
- Professionalism in the rural health care practice
- Agricultural emergencies
- Building a rural practice
- Telemedicine and teleradiology
- Managing high school athletics from the sidelines
- End of life care – how it differs in rural America
- Other topics pertinent to rural medicine
As a Rural Medicine Educational Pathway student, you will be required to:
- Maintain enrollment in the College of Podiatric Medicine & Surgery with passing grades in all courses and remain in good academic standing at all times
- Become active in at least one DMU student club or organization on campus
- Complete the Rural Medicine Educational Pathway curriculum
- Participate in selected rural clinical rotations in Iowa rural communities during year four
- Attend the Saturday sessions and meetings (described above)
How to apply
Any student, upon acceptance into the DMU College of Podiatric Medicine & Surgery, is eligible to apply to the Rural Medicine Educational Pathway program. The equivalent of one (1) full tuition scholarship will be awarded annually and will be renewable for up to four years.
The application will be made available to you following acceptance. Applications will be reviewed as they are submitted and decisions provided within 4-6 weeks. If you are awarded a Rural Medicine Educational Pathway scholarship, you must execute the Des Moines University Rural Medicine Educational Pathway scholarship agreement.

Iaidô at Japan Expo 2011
At Japan Expo, on the Tatami, attendees can discover many martial arts thanks to associations. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly but real lessons are given by experts.
If you are bold enough and are ready to sweat on the Tatami, you can meet sport fans who transmit their love for martial arts, which are often as much a way of life as sports disciplines. They are an ideal means of discovering traditional Japanese culture and the Bûshido, "the way of the warrior", while letting off steam!

Still Trying to Get the New Guy Sorted out
Just Read into It So You Can Know That You're Getting Exactly What You Want
There are many places out there that offer reviews online, and you would be a fool to pass up on the services that they offer. I mean who wouldn't want a place where they could see exactly what they are buying before it happens. I know that I love reading reviews of the products that I am considering. You see, I can just look at it and see what people really think of the product that I am trying to buy. For instance if I were going to buy salehoo I might use http://www.clickmediareviews.com/salehoo-review. It is one of the best websites out there that are designed to help people make an informed purchase. I absolutely love it and I suggest that anyone else who plans on buying pretty much anything online go ahead and look up the reviews for that item. You don't want to be dissapointed when it arrives and is of lesser quality than you had expected. Reading reviews helps eliminate this possibility because you can see if other people have received it and felt the same way.
I personally read the reviews for everything, but I know that some things don't really need it. However I can say that it has benefited me at least a dozen times. There were items that I was going to purchase but ended up not. A lot of the time it ends up being of poor quality or broke right away. I know that it seems a bit useless to some people. So to say that it is useless to read reviews is just being naiive. I mean as far as I can tell there is no harm in spending five minutes to read up on some reviews so that you can know for sure whether or not you are getting exactly what you want.Progress Browsing
Weight Loss Products That Block Fat
I have been overweight for my entire life, and I largely blame my genetics, but at the same time, I recognize that I should take a certain amount of blame as well. I know that I do not have the best diet in the world, and that is something that I need to try to change in the future. I am worried about my health, and that is why I want to lose weight. I am looking into mighty raspberry ketone as a weight loss product that could help me out.
I have heard about the product before, but it did not really get my attention until I noticed it in the super market when I was shopping. I did not buy it, but it grabbed my attention, and I decided then and there, that I would look into the product further once I got back home. I did not do that initially, because I forgot to. However, I have just remembered and I am now looking to find more information about mighty raspberry ketone and what it can do for someone who wishes to be able to lose weight.
I am mostly interested in the product because I read that it has fat blocking properties. I am not sure how that would work, but it is something that interests me. I have yet to make a lot of changes to my diet that I need to make in the future. In the mean time, it would be helpful if I could take a product that would block fat that I ingest from being stored in my body. I am not sure how feasible that is, but if it can be done, then I would like to make use of a product that will help me to be able to do just that.Progress Browsing
My Mom Bought Me a New Bathroom
Last time my mom came over she couldn't help but mention how outdated my bathroom was. I told her that I didn't really have the time or the money for complete remodel, but I promise to repaint before the next time she came over. She said that wouldn't do, and she offered to pay for bathroom remodeling in rockland county if I could find a contractor. I decided to take her up on her offer, because I knew I wouldn't be able to afford this project on my own. I am on a limited budget, so most expenses require a bit of planning ahead of time.
I found what I deemed to be the absolute best contractor in the area. I had received a recommendation from my former boss, who had recently gone through a similar bathroom remodeling job. She couldn't say enough about her final results with this contractor. I saw pictures of her bathroom and I was impressed. I decided to give them a call. I let them know what I was working with, and told them that I had a lot of ideas for overall design. I met with the designer several times over the course of the project to ensure that he understood exactly what I was looking for. He was really great to work with. Every time I showed him one of my ideas, he was able to improve upon it in some way.
My new bathroom looks amazing. I can't believe the fact just a few months ago it looked completely different. I'm thankful that my mom was able to help me out and finance the project. I'm sure she'll be a lot more comfortable the next time she comes to visit. In the meantime I will be enjoying my new bathroom. It really does feel like a brand-new space.Progress Browsing
Fixing My Roof After a Big Storm
Unfortunately, the dramatic weather we've been experiencing has taken a toll on my home. What was once a small leak in my roof has turned into a sizable leak, and a steady stream of water has been dripping in. I would normally just patch up the hole and go on with my day, but my roof is really old. I decided to explore roof replacement in queens, because I think that should be my next course of action. If I don't replace my roof soon, who knows what will happen during the next big storm. I don't want to take any chances, and based on the age of my roof I would rather be proactive.
Last time I had an issue with my roof I called my reliable roofing company to, and patch it up. I found out that they also specialize in roof replacement, so I plan on utilizing their services again. So this is a larger job, I wanted to get an accurate quote before committing to the work. I gave them will call and schedule a consultation. Someone came over to take a look at my roof. After he was up there for a little while, came down and we started to discuss my options.
He basically told me that if I wanted to do a patch it would be fine, but he also agreed that my roof was coming to the end of its lifespan. He agreed that it would be best to be proactive and replace the entire thing, but if I was strapped for cash I could wait another year. Since I had managed to save a bit of money, I decided just to go with the roof replacement. He made the arrangements, and a crew was at my house the very next week. They did a great job, and I feel great knowing that my home is now protected.Progress Browsing
We Earn a Living Making Art
It started when I had a lot of my friends ask me to go into their kid's bedrooms and paint special murals that they would like to have as a theme to their kids rooms. I have painted a lot of the Disney princesses and a lot of things like trains for baby boys. I knew that I could make it as a painter in bergen county nj when their friends started to go into their homes and see my work, then they would ask for my name and phone number. After I did three free rooms I decided that I would have to start charging people because it would take a day or two to finish the rooms. I took pictures of each room as I went along and then I would go and post them on a web site that one of my friends made for me in barter and I was so happy that she did this for me.
I had a lot of people that wanted me to go and do their nurseries as they were expecting a baby. I made sure that I used only safe paints that were not going to have any harmful products in them and a lot of people were going to pay me more for using some new kinds of organic paints and it was going to be a major thing for me to market myself using these different paints as no other painter was going to go and spend the amount of money that they cost. I was going to start getting business cards and I knew that passing them out was going to be a good idea but I thought that passing them out on my own was not good enough, I gave them out to friends and family.Progress Browsing

Event on 2014-01-06 19:30:00
The Sword
"Not to be confused with the Canadian heavy metal band from the late '80s, named simply Sword, the Sword are a retro-metal four-piece hailing from -- of all places -- the singer/songwriter oasis of Austin, TX. First conceived in 2003, the Sword really hit their stride about a year later, when founding vocalist and guitarist J.D. Cronise joined forces with guitarist Kyle Shutt, bassist Bryan Richie, and drummer Trivett Wingo, and made a much raved-over appearance at Austin's famed SXSW festival. National touring stints with everyone from Clutch to indie rock darlings ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead followed, and by mid-2005 the Sword had been picked up by New York-based indie label Kemado Records, with their much-anticipated debut album, Age of Winters, appearing early the next year. Before completing their second album, they contributed two songs (one original and one Led Zeppelin cover) to a split 12" EP with Swedish heavy rockers Witchcraft in November 2007. Gods of the Earth arrived in spring 2008. Changing their muse from fantasy to science fiction, the Sword released Warp Riders in 2010, a concept album featuring an original narrative written by the band." at Vinyl Music Hall Palafox and Garden Street Pensacola, United States
These Homes Have a Lot of Upgrades
I knew that I was going to spend a lot of time looking for the right magnolia luxury homes when I found out that I was going to be moving. A lot of those houses that I was looking at online had a lot of really nice upgrades that made me happy. I have been looking at a lot of different places and they had carpeting through out and I thought that it was funny as most new places have hard wood flooring. I love hard wood flooring as I have a lot of allergies and it was going to be important for me to keep carpeting out of my house. The carpeting was going to be very difficult for me to replace and if I am moving into a new house I am not going to be replacing them with expensive wood flooring. I want to have all of the upgrades that are important to me when I buy my house, I do not want to have to add them later.
I would rather pay a little bit more for a new house with upgrades then if I were going to buy a new house that would have to make me add more things that make me happy. I had a really nice new job in Texas waiting for me and as part of my relocation service, I wanted to make sure that they would pay for my down payment as requested. This is the reason why I wanted to make sure that I had the house that I wanted because I knew that once I got inside the house, there were not be a problem for me to stay there. Finding the ideal house is exactly what I want to do if I am going to moving to a new state.Progress Browsing
You Only Want the Pure Stuff
In my nursing class we had to go through a nutrition program that taught us about how foods could help patients. For example, for a patient after an operation or who had a lot of inflammation, a diet high in protein would help heal wounds and their inflammation quickly. I also heard that things like coconut oil was really good for the body but you could only buy the pure stuff to work. So that also meant that things like pure garcinia cambogia extract would have to be bought in its pure form for it to work and it made a lot of sense. Things like these in their purest form are virgin and there is nothing else added to it to make it work. When you start to pull apart the molecules from the actual pure things it starts to change the natural form of the ingredients and then it will not be as healthy. I had a few friends that bought in cheap coconut oil and if you looked at it, you could see that they had a lot of things added to them.
I had an organic form of the coconut oil that was a little bit more expensive and they actually said on the bottle that it was a pure coconut oil in its organic form. This was the only ingredient in the entire thing and I was really happy to see that this was the best thing for me and my body. I added a little bit to my oatmeal every morning and it was a natural way for my sugar to go down as I have diabetes. My doctor was even happy with the results and started to tell her other patients about it and told them how to use it every single day.Progress Browsing

Austin >Beauty > Metamorphsis Hair Co
3435 Bee Caves Rd Ste D, Austin, TX | Directions 7874630.276679 -97.803679
Neighborhoods: Shepard Of The Hills
Worst Haircut I've Ever Had – I'd give them zero stars if I could. Stinks like cigerettes. Mark about spent 10 minutes cutting my hair and then loaded it up with hairspray. Other stylists have spent an hour on my hair for the same price. Absolutely awful.
Fantastic Salon – This is a fantastic place to get a haircut or color. Laura has been cutting my hair for years, and I am always happy with the results! She listens to what her clients want, and she is knowledgeable about all aspects of hair. I highly recommend visiting the salon! The prices are also very reasonable, and it is conveniently located off of BeeCaves road in West Lake.
Would not trust my hair anywhere else! – If your looking for a salon that's knowledgeable, well experienced, not pushy, personable, (not to mention good at listening, regardless if its pertaining to hair), then look no further.
Metamorphsis has been an family, locally owned salon in Austin for over 30 years. The environment in felt as soon as you walk in the door... easy going, personable, helpful and fun. Reminds me of how Austin once was.
I receive complements all the time on my hair. I have also referred friends who have not looked back. You will definitely get what you pay for and them some :)
Excellent Service – Mark has been my hair stylist for 10 years. He is wonderful! He's very knowledgeable. Mark has an eye for hair styles for all types of faces shapes, and is great at listening to what you want. All around I have been very satisfied with my hair care over the years and have referred many friends to him. Thanks Mark!
Been a Customer for 30 Years – I've been going to Metamorphsis for over 30 years as well as my friends. I constantly get comments from people about how good my hair looks.
Mark, the owner, has been my hairdresser for the entire time except for one visit that I made elsewhere -- I ran back to Mark to correct the horrid perm and cut I had received. He managed to salvage my hair and save the day.
He is quite knowledgeable about color, cut, and styling. His shop is located off Bee Caves Road, only minutes from downtown Austin. You can't go wrong with his work !!
Abby is the BEST! – I moved here from Colorado by way of San Francisco and New York. In NYC & S.F., you find the best stylists in the world. I was a walk in, and was scheduled with Abby. Abby is without a doubt the BEST stylist - she is absolutely gorgeous and sweet and very sensitive to your needs. She provided the best cut and color I have ever had!!! She continues to cut and color my hair, with outstanding results and terrific service. I am always amazed by her cuts, they are precise and spectacular! I don't have great hair, and she performs miracles! When you book here, always ask for Abby - you will not be disappointed!!
Consistently Good Stylist – In the fall of 2008, I was a walk in at Metamorphsis Hair Salon. The owner had cut my hair back in the '80's, so I was looking for him. He was out of the salon, so I asked for an appointment with anyone available. Fortunately for me, Abby had an opening to cut and style my two daughter's (ages 12 and 9) and my hair. The cuts were perfect and the styling even better. Since that time, Abby has cut my hair four times and my daughter's hair five times each. When I go out of town, my husband takes our daughters to Abby for a wash and style during the week. Abby provides a consistently great cut. Her prices are very reasonable and she is ALWAYS willing to work around our schedule. She is pleasant and personable and has a really soft touch. I can't say enough good things about Abby and am very happy we have found a stylist for the whole family!
Not that great – I was a walk in and got my hair colored by some girl named abby (abbie?). Was really unhappy with it and went somewhere else to get it fixed. She seemed new to the business... Evryone was nice but not happy with results.
Great Hair Salon! – I was lucky to find Metamorphosis seven years ago and highly recommend this hair salon. Everyone there is friendly and professional. My stylist is a great person to talk to and very knowledgeable about color and cuts. She is always on time, gets me in and out quickly and very reasonably priced. I have had many compliments about my hair and always leave Metamorphosis feeling like a million bucks! Check it out - you won't be disappointed.
Best Pedicure/manicure – When I need a pedicure I see Susan at Metamorphosis Hair and Nail Salon. Susan is the BEST. I always feel welcome and comfortable. The location is just minutes from my downtown office.
Thank you Susan for being there for me!

More reviews by voodoodolly330
Before Chanel Notorious, my favourite contouring product is Kevyn Aucoin's sculpting powder, it's a very nice product but still shows a little bit too bronzy on my skin. While Notorious is a mushroom/taupe colour which mimic the shadow on the face perfectly, very natural, subtle (unless you are very heavy-handed), but effective.

I am giving this a 4 based off of first impressions so that I can get this out ASAP since it is hard to find. The color is exactly as you see it online and yes it looks like a straight up eyeshadow. The difference between this and say an actual eyeshadow would be the texture and size. It is strangely pigmented but soft enough to blend over the face or eyes. Most eyeshadows that may be similar in color probably may not have the appropriate texture to contour cheeks with. The size suits most contour brushes like a MAC 186 or MAC 109 or angle brushes from Sigma, etc. Eyeshadows can be quite small, which not only can be difficult to collect from with larger brushes but it will likely get used up quicker. I of course could be wrong because I do not know the options out there in this color/texture range but I imagine it is not vast. The price is steep and the inventory is way too limited which sucks. I found mine at a local Saks a few days ago and could not find it anywhere else because it sold out months ago. Hopefully, you can still find it out there and I also hope and think that other companies might get on board with this "trend" or as some say "game changer" because it is not brown like other contour colors. On me, ~NC20, it looks a little purple but when I blend la lot and apply in layers it does look nice and natural. My boyfriend actually noticed it and said that he "sees definition/a line" under my cheekbones (but my cheeks are fat lol, I said that not him). It gets a four for now because it is not extremely easy to use right off the bat. I will update.

I finally found it, all were sold out in dept. store. I went to the Chanel boutique and they had 20 still in stock. I bought 2, just in case.
Is it a good product for contour, YES; I found it better than using a matte brownish bonzer.
Does it worth the $45 price tag, NO.
I can search for a mushroom/grey/beige eye- shadow and I am sure it will do the job just as good.
But I did not regret the purchase.

I am an NC40 gal... & yes, even I still have to use a LIGHT hand when applying this! It is completely different than what I currently own (Guerlain 4 seasons) & I truly am in love with it. It seriously chisels in your cheekbones & makes the jawline beautifully pronounced. I wish I could get my hands on a backup but I don't need to use much at all for an application so I'm sure I'll have it for awhile. Lovely, amazing, downright perfect contouring product.

*shakes fist* WHY CHANEL, WHY MAKE THIS LE?! I have already bought 2 of these, and am looking for a third one. It quite simply is the most beautiful contouring powder I have come across. I am NC15 and did not make a habit of contouring as I was unable to find one that worked well with my skintone. Bronzers generally looked dirty or muddy on me. When Chanel brought this product out, I literally turned to my husband and said 'why has no-one done something like this before? shadows are grey, not brown...it makes perfect sense to bring out a greyed contouring powder!' Once I tried it, I was in love. It perfectly replicates a shadow in the hollow of my cheek and the slight shimmer that is in the pan does not translate to my face. I find it quite sheer but easily buildable. I really hope Chanel realises that this is a gamechanger and makes it permanent, although no doubt other brands will now release similar products. If you are pale and bronzer contours have not worked for you in the past, I urge you to try this if you can still get your hands on it. I don't think it will be as spectacular on darker skintones though. This is my 'product of 2012' - love love love it!

When i heard people talking about Notorious, i had to look, but i wasn't going to buy this very expensive powder. Then i saw photos, and how could i resist a taupe-grey contour powder! ...you see, i like unusual, atypical makeup colors.
I didn't get to see it in real life, but i still rushed to order it from chanel.com, since it was already sold out at all the department stores in my state. I was on tenterhooks waiting for it to arrive. What was it going to be like?
First, the packaging is luxurious - not quite as luxurious as Guerlain, but, then, Chanel is less expensive than Guerlain. I opened the shipping package and nestled inside was a medium sized black cloth bag. Inside was a shiny black box. Inside the box was a small velvety cloth bag. And inside that was the shiny black plastic compact with the Chanel logo.
The compact is not terribly large. Inside the lid is a convenient mirror. The dome of powder fills only about 60%, the other 40% holds a tiny, natural hair brush. I was a bit disappointed at how small the powder was.
Then came the moment of truth - applying Notorious. Using my own, easier to manage brush, i put it on over my liquid foundation - it didn't blend as well as i would have liked. Using a large, dense, flat headed brush i buffed it out. Still imperfect, but nonetheless i was really liking the basic look.
I learned one lesson: first powder all over a moisturizing foundation, before applying Notorious, or give that foundation plenty of time to set. That way it will have a more natural look.
The powder is a small dome of taupe-grey with a hint of mauve. It appears to have some shimmer, but it is not shimmery, rather it provides luminosity. The powder is quite fine and silky. A little is all you really need, but if you want a more intense color, it is definitely buildable.
Final impression: Notorious is an amazing neutral contour. Many contour products are brown, "bronzy", or even orange-y. Notorious is the color of a shadow. I love it.
I'd buy it again, but it's Limited Edition and sadly sold out (and, no, i will not give in to insane evilBay prices)

I love a contour powder and as soon as I read the reviews on here I knew I had to try it and boy am I glad that I did! This is the most complimentary contouring powder I have ever owned, it is so easy to use and easy to blend! After using for a week I went and stocked up on 2 more pots due to it being Ltd Edition!

I read about this product on several blogs and ordered it almost as a joke. In photos, the product looks so muddy - you can't actually believe a person would intentionally apply it to her face! But these bloggers had to be right about something. Notorious is indeed a muddy gray-brown with a slight sheen - not shimmer, just iridescence. It comes in an excellent, lightweight package with mini-brush (which works okay in a pinch, but it's better to have your own brush). Very classy Chanel packaging with cloth bag. The powder is not as densely-packed as most blushes - when you tap your brush on it, some of the powder tends to swirl in the air. So the trick is to use a VERY light hand -- very, very light, and then you blend like crazy. Once you do, the result is sort of amazing. Your face does look more sculpted. I tried it along the sides of my nose, and that also looked excellent. This product is great for nights out and.. so key... for photos!! If you feel as though your face needs more definition, especially in important photographs (wedding, etc.), this is a must have. I'm glad I listened to the bloggers!
6 out of 6 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I seem to be darker skinned toned than the previously reviewers, but still this worked wonders on crafting cheekbones, using it as an eyeshadow and for a brow color. Anyplace where you would want shadows--also very good for firming up the jawline. I have to agree with one of the previously reviewers, this really thins up the face if you tend to add the weight on there--an instant 5 to 7 pd weight loss!
Just have to really have to take a moment or two to blend, blend, blend. Quite a wonderful product.
8 out of 8 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I received this contouring powder in the mail a few days ago and was initially quite hesitant to try it out. How could a grey-ish-purple powder not make me look like a zombie? I am incredibly pale and cool-toned and most contouring products turn orange on me. This shade is absolutely perfect. It easily took 5 lbs. off of my face with the tiniest amount of shading. It looks very natural. The powder requires minimal blending and is pigmented without being too heavy for my fair skin. I'll definitely be buying a back-up!

The Illinois Department of Corrections is dealing with inmates at state prisons, including Vandalia Correctional Center, who have contracted the flu.
Tom Shaer, IDOC spokesman, said that as of Tuesday evening, VCC was placed on Level 1 lockdown due to two diagnosed cases of the flu.
In addition to those two confirmed cases – among the 1,679 inmates – there were three inmates showing flu-like symptoms.
Also, Shaer said, one inmate who was showing symptoms tested negative for the flu.
The city of Vandalia's court case against a couple operating a restaurant on Vandalia Lake will continue for at least six more weeks.
That's because a judge last week gave Steve and Latisha Mabry 21 days to file amended arguments in the case, and gave the city 21 days to file a response to those arguments.
At a hearing last Thursday afternoon, Judge Douglas Jarman heard arguments on the city's motion to strike the Mabrys' answers to the city's request for a declaratory judgment.
The Fayette County Board will be looking at increasing some county fees, with ones charged only to those going through the building adjacent to the county courthouse currently being considered.
Board Chairman Steve Knebel said at Tuesday's board meeting that county officials recently met with representatives of the Fraternal Order of Police, "and they gave us some ideas on raising funds. They had some good ideas."
Those ideas included raising the fees charged at the Fayette County Jail.
A St. Elmo family was able to escape a fire in their home early Saturday morning after being alerted to the fire by their dog.
The 55th Annual Miss Illinois County Fair Queen Pageant will be held Jan. 16-19, at the Crowne Plaza in Springfield, in conjunction with the Illinois Association of Agriculture Fairs Annual Convention.
Warmer temperatures at the end of this week will help residents of Vandalia and Fayette County dig out of the area's worst winter storm in decades.
With its annual banquet just two weeks away, the Vandalia Chamber of Commerce is seeking nominations for its Abe Awards.
Those awards are presented annually to individuals who have made significant contributions to the community.
"We are looking for anyone who has bettered our community and local organizations through the use of their time and talent, by volunteering or by taking a leadership role," said Shannon Craycroft, chamber executive director.

Let the Beat Move Your Feet

"Music provides the motivation to power the movement."

Our Destination Experts have stayed in our rentals and will help you book the perfect vacation.
Named for the huge tree growing right through the middle of the property, Casa Tabachin is one of the original villa rentals in Zona Romantica. Located in Gringo Gulch, this beautifully furnished private home boasts original artwork, custom furnishings and just the right touch of casual elegance. Outside the front door, the Zona Romantica beckons with its cobble stoned streets, sidewalk cafes, boutiques, beach, parks and art galleries.

A note from the owner: Casa Tabachin was the house that director John Huston rented while filming the movie "Night of Iguana" in the 70's.

The wood framing of a house that was under construction collapsed Thursday morning in Longport, N.J.
Construction workers who were building the house told FOX 29's Steve Keeley that around 4 a.m. it came crashing down.
No one was inside the building in the middle of the night. But it is a residential street.
Below the collapsed framing you can see the concrete first floor and the foundation.
Keeley was at the scene as a fire truck arrived at the scene to check things out.
Earlier, Keeley was at the scene of a live power line that was down on Dorset Avenue, a main drag in the shore town of Ventnor.
And before that Keeley was in Atlantic City, where he and his photographer found traffic lights down, siding blowing off homes, and tarps that were covering damaged roofs from Hurricane Sandy blown onto power lines. Some power outages were reported in casino resort town.

Product Launch - TRAVEL RETAIL: Pernod Ricard's Chivas Regal The Chivas Brothers' Blend

Pernod Ricard's Chivas Regal The Chivas Brothers' Blend
Category - Spirits, whisky, Scotch, blended
Available - From today (1 October)
Location - Global travel retail
Price - Not specified
Distribution - Pernod Ricard
Pernod Ricard has lined up the first brand extension for its Chivas Regal Scotch whisky since 2007. The Chivas Brothers' Blend, a travel retail exclusive, is a permanent addition to the portfolio.
The expression is a 12-year-old blend that includes whiskies from Strathisla and Longmorn distilleries.
Chivas Regal will launch The Chivas Brothers' Blend, the new ultimate whisky to share, on 1 October 2012, exclusively to the global travel retail channel. This perfect expression of the smooth Chivas style will be a permanent part of the Chivas portfolio and will be available only to shoppers in travel retail. This is the first product launch for the brand since Chivas Regal 25 Year Old was relaunched in 2007.
The inspiration for The Chivas Brothers' Blend came from founding brothers, John and James Chivas. The brothers first worked together at the Chivas Brothers' Emporium in King Street, Aberdeen which was established in the mid-1800s and was known for selling fine foods and whiskies. Today, the famous Chivas Brothers' legacy lives on, selling 4.9m cases in over 150 markets around the world.
Paying a contemporary tribute to this rich history, the brothers and their legendary blending skills is The Chivas Brothers' Blend – a thoroughly modern whisky that is ultra smooth, perfect for sharing. This unique 12 year old blend uses a carefully selected range of malt whiskies, including high proportions of Strathisla and Longmorn malts in order to recreate the extra smooth taste that made Chivas Regal's whiskies famous.
The Chivas Brothers' Blend has a rich amber colour which bursts with ripe soft fruit flavours including peach and pear, and accented with runny honey, marmalade and soft candy. The rich taste echoes the nose of fresh fruit flavours, giving way to a sweet, creamy texture.
The Chivas Brothers' Blend bottle and carton design is both unique and striking in its bold use of purple. With the etched Chivas Regal family crest on the bottle, it marries both tradition and modernity to create a product that has a regal nobility and great stand-out. The entire concept of The Chivas Brothers' Blend brings to life the current consumer trend of revivalism where iconic items are pulled from history and refreshed for today.
Following the global Travel Retail teaser campaign 'A New Arrival from Chivas' to fuel travellers' excitement and curiosity, Chivas Regal will create a consumer journey in airports around the globe that from the point of arrival to the moment of departure, travellers can experience an eye-catching activation involving out-of-store theatre, digital interaction, innovative consumer engagement activities and more.
James Slack, Global Brand Director, Chivas Regal, says, 'We are delighted to launch The Chivas Brothers' Blend exclusively in Travel Retail and offer a new Chivas Regal product which focuses on our heritage of craftsmanship blended with a modern twist. The result is an ultra-smooth whisky for today's travellers who are looking not only for brand innovation but also an experience. The Chivas Brothers' Blend is the ultimate whisky to share.'

Tigers trade Prince Fielder to Texas Rangers
By Bill Shea
Prince Fielder
2014 salaries
Currently, Detroit is obligated to pay out double-digit million-dollar salaries in 2014 to:
The Detroit Tigers have agreed to trade slugger Prince Fielder, who struggled last season, to the Texas Rangers for second baseman Ian Kinsler, the teams announced late Wednesday night.
"We are fortunate to be in a position to acquire a quality and proven player in Ian Kinsler," said David Dombrowski, the Tigers president, CEO and general manager, in a statement. "Ian is an All-Star caliber talent who provides our lineup with a top of the order bat and has been a solid defensive performer at second base."
The Tigers agreed to pay the Rangers $30 million as part of the swap, according to a person with knowledge of the deal. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the amount of money exchanged was not revealed when the teams announced the trade. The $30 million is payable from 2016-20.
Fielder, 29, a five-time All-Star, had to consent to the trade before it could be completed. The big first baseman signed a $214 million, nine-year free agent contract with the Tigers in January 2012 after seven years with the Milwaukee Brewers that included a limited no-trade provision. He's due $24 million in 2014.
"We're thankful for what he did for us," Dombrowski said. "It'll be a bat that we miss at times — there's no doubt about it."
It's the latest blockbuster off-season move by Dombrowski, who has a reputation for major player moves and the first headline-grabbing move of baseball's offseason, involving two of the American League's top teams. Detroit has won three consecutive AL Central titles and reached the World Series in 2012, while Texas won the AL pennant in 2010 and 2011.
The son of former Tigers great Cecil Fielder, and a commonplace sight at old Tigers Stadium as a child, Fielder was picked up by Detroit to replace designated hitter Victor Martinez, who had been lost for the season prior to the 2012 campaign. Martinez, 34, returned in 2013 and registered an excellent year.
Kinsler, 31, in April 2012 inked a five-year, $75 million contract extension, for the 2013-17 season. The Rangers have an $10 million club option for 2018, or a $5 million buyout, according to Baseball Prospectus.
Kinsler hit .273/.349/.454 with 13 home runs, 31 doubles, two triples and72 RBI in 136 games. He walked 51 times and struck out in 59 at-bats. In eight MLB seasons, Kinsler is a career .273 hitter and is a three-time All Star.
He's considered a solid base-stealer and a defensive second baseman — a key concern for new Tigers manager Brad Ausmus because Detroit's Omar Infante is a free agent and would want to re-sign for more than the $4 million he was paid in 2013 to play second.
Fielder's disappointing year featured 25 home runs, the fewest since hitting just two in 38 games as a rookie in 2005. In 2013, he hit .279/.362./.457 with 105 RBI. He also had 36 doubles.
Despite critics warning about his weight, the first baseman played in all 162 games for the third consecutive season and fourth in five years.
Fielder is a five-time All Star. However, his postseason hitting for the Tigers was especially bad: He hit an anemic .182 in nine playoff games in 2013, with no home runs or RBI. His base-running decisions led to criticism and embarrassment, and he followed it all up with comments that fans and media perceived as indifferent.
Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said the trade came together quickly — the first discussions took place Tuesday. Texas was interested in Fielder when he signed with Detroit as a free agent.
"Obviously, a very exciting trade for us in adding Prince Fielder to the organization," Daniels said. "Also a tough trade to make in that Ian Kinsler's been with the organization since he was drafted in '03 ... A winning guy, a heart-and-soul guy, and Detroit got a tremendous player and person."
Kinsler batted .277 with 13 homers this year. The a three-time All-Star was limited to 136 games because of injuries to his ribs and right side. Kinsler stole 15 bases in 2013 — not a high total by his standards but more than any player on the Detroit team he is joining.
The trade could save the Tigers more than $75 million in the long run, giving them more financial flexibility with Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer a year from free agency.
Detroit had a $150 million payroll to open last season, and while little is known about the team's internal budgeting for player salaries, the team may be looking to create financial room to sign pitcher Max Scherzer to a long-term deal.
Scherzer, 29, won the American League Cy Young award this season, and became the staff ace after a somewhat down year for Justin Verlander.
Scherzer is in his final year of club control and salary arbitration. He's eligible for free agency after the 2014 season. He was paid $6.7 million in 2013, and baseball insiders expect him to more than double that with another one-year contract that avoids arbitration.
The Tigers confirmed the Fielder deal in a statement late Wednesday; CBS Sports' Jon Heyman broke the news earlier in the evening via Twitter.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Installing PHP 5.2.1 on a Windows 2K3 Server with SP1 and IIS 6.0
- was about to give me the head ache of the year! It is NOT - repeat - NOT possible to use the CGI on a server but ISAPI works perfectly. The documentation mentions both - but cgi/fastcgi is definetely a no go.
Using the PHP installer I used the IIS option, corrected the recommended php.ini file and added the extensions I wanted.
And at this point - too - you have to restart the server to make it work, a restart of only the IIS service is not sufficient.
So mark my words, use ISAPI and don't get any errors!
